Deeper
Paapa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deeper, going deeper
Going deeper
And I can't breathe either
I don't know what to do
Cause I stopped keeping my eyes on you
(I'm sinking) Deeper inside of me
Deeper inside of me
I thought I could do it on my own

But you have shown me that I need you
Cause I'm sinking
Deeper inside of me
Deeper inside of me

(Ooo) Someone Save me
(Ooo) Someone save me
